Availability policies

Version: 10.0

The Availability plugin contributes configuration policies that define behavior for the functionality provided by the plugin.

Note

Do not extend or inherit from out-of-the-box policies; instead, create your own.

You can change the values of default policies by modifying the PolicySet JSON or the Environment JSON, depending on where the policy is defined, and then re-running Bootstrap.

The Availability plugin defines the following policies:

Policy	Description	Properties / Default Values
`DigitalItemTagsPolicy`	Allows the specification of a list of tags that indicate an item is a digital item. Digital items are automatically considered always available and have no inventory. This is a simple way of flagging an item in the Merchandising tool as digital. The following default tags are provided: entitlement service installation subscription digital subscription warranty onlinetraining onlinelearning giftcards You can use an environment policy to override these tags.	TagList / "entitlement" "service" "installation" "subscription" "digitalsubscription" "warranty" "onlinetraining" "onlinelearning" "giftcards"
`GlobalAvailabilityPolicy`	Provides basic availability with a single property (`AvailabilityExpires`), indicating how long availability applies, in seconds.This allows more efficient functioning because the system does not need to check availability with an external system.	AvailabilityExpires / 10 (this represent seconds)
`AvailabilityAlwaysPolicy`	Indicates that inventory checks are not required on a digital sellable item (e.g., for digital items that do not have a specific inventory). Important This policy is only applicable to digital sellable items. Sellable items with this policy enabled are considered as digital items, and cannot use a physical shipping method. (This is checked by the `IGetCartFulfillmentOptionsPipeline` in the `FilterCartFulfillmentOptionsBlock`).
`AvailabilityDateRangePolicy`	Indicates that inventory checks on a sellable item are performed during a specific period (with start and end date).
`AvailabilityPolicy`	Provides availability and inventory information for a sellable item (with inventory SKU).
